“All went very well. Appears my cats were perfectly attended to as expected. I suspect Carl managed things I had forgot to instruct. Will definitely try to rebook Carl on next opportunity.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Shannon! She is so kind and truly an animal lover. She took such amazing care of our needy boy and was incredibly considerate throughout the entire visit. Will definitely seek out her support in the future!”
“Christina is a fabulous pet sitter! She is trustworthy, reliable, professional, and loving. She sends great photos and leaves comprehensive notes. Look no further!”
“Emily is AMAZING! Detailed updates about my kitties and excellent photos of them. You can really tell how much attention she’s giving to each of my special babies while I’m away… I’ve had her kitty-sit them several times and she has always done a great job.”
“Brittany was amazing! We left our fur baby for a week to get married, and I'm glad chose Brittany. She gave me peace of mind that our little one was happy and safe when she would visit.”
“Having Jennifer as a cat sitter provided so much peace of mind when I was away. She is very reliable, pays attention to detail, and her updates also provided a lot of information on how my cat was doing.”
About: I raised Captain, a large Treeing Walker Coonhound until he passed in 2023. There are currently no dogs in the home. I live in a single family home with a large fully fenced in yard. My work hours vary but I am rarely out of the house longer than 3-4 hours. Weekends I am home full time. Weather permitting they will be taken on at least one long walk per day. Dogs have full run of the house and are allowed on furniture. Dogs can run in the fenced in yard but are always supervised when doing so.
“Lauren was incredible with taking care of my cat Narnar! She first came for a meet & greet and knew exactly how to win Narnar's trust. She was prompt in answering my text messages and always sent numerous pictures with every check-ins! I certainly recommend Lauren for your pets and will be reaching out to her again for future needs!”
“Jessica was very sweet. She gave my old guy food, treats, and lots of loves. He’s a bit bashful and hides from strangers but it didn’t take too long for him to warm up to her. He was happy and healthy when we got home from our trip. I would recommend Jessica 100 times over.”
“The best sitter I have had in a long time. Respects property, keeps feeding and litter areas clean, and above all, gives my boys love and affection with each visit. They seem to look forward to seeing her and that’s rare with my shy boys.”
“Erica was an excellent sitter!!! Left awesome updates every day and made me and my husband feel like our kitties were well taken care of. Will definitely be using her again when we go out of town next time.”
“Anna was excellent, she went above and beyond to care for my kitties Moxie and Copper. Even though Moxie is skittish around people Anna searched for her on every visit and won her trust by the second day. Anna's communication was fantastic, with multiple photos and plenty of details in each report. I highly recommend Anna to care for your pets, she's the best!”
“Melissa did a great job with my two cats! They can be shy with new people, but they warmed up to her on the meet and greet. She spent an hour with them each night and sent great photos of playtime. I hope to hire Melissa for future visits!”
“Karina was attentive, caring and consistent while watching my cat. Mylo is the definitive ‘scaredy cat’, afraid of everyone and everything. He resisted her at first but she broke down his barriers and by the end of the week he was playing with her and letting her pet him! I’m grateful to have such a wonderful sitter for my fur children!”

Palatine cat parents share their Rover experiences
Anna made my vacation significantly more relaxed. She spent actually quality time with my cat playing with him and giving him lots of pets. He seemed to really like her even though he’s a bit standoffish with new people. She stayed in communication and kept me posted on what was happening with him while I was gone.
Carl did a great job caring for our cat Finn! I knew from the moment we met Carl that Finn would be in good hands. Carl took the time to ask questions, to learn our cat’s routine, was always on time, kept the litter box clean and sent pictures every visit (along with entertaining Rover Cards which we looked forward to). We strongly recommend Carl and will most definitely use him again.
Alexis is great! She was very communicative and went above and beyond for my two cats. They clearly adored her as one of my cats is quite shy and usually hides with new people. But he was comfortable with Alexis and came out for her visits. I will definitely book with Alexis again.
